Katherine Langford Is Starring in a New Netflix Show and It’s Nothing Like “13 Reasons Why”

[Update 05/03/2019 11:30 a.m]: Katherine Langford clearly is a long way from her time at Liberty High School with the rest of the 13 Reasons Why cast. After announcing her shocking leave from the hit Netflix series, it was announced that she joined a second one, this time playing the Lady of the Lake from the King Arthur legend. Netflix gave fans a first look at the series and it's completely different than anything we've seen her do before.

While there's still some time until the show comes out on the streaming giant, at least fans can get a chance to read the book, which is being released later this year, to find out more about the series and Katherine's character.

Original post:13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford might have said goodbye to Hannah Baker after the show's second season, but that doesn't mean she's leaving Netflix for good.

Deadlinejust announced that Katherine will star in Netflix's new series, Cursed, which is being produced and written by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler.

Based on the upcoming novel also written by Miller and Wheeler, the show follows Nemue, who is cursed to be the Lady of the Lake from the legend of King Arthur.

"After her mother’s death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther,” Deadline reported.

The book will be released next year, with the series to follow shortly after. Miller and Wheeler will be writing the book and working on the show at the same time, to help expand the characters and their stories for the show's adaptation.

This will be Katherine's fourth time participating in a YA adaption. Aside from 13 Reasons Why, she previously starred in Love, Simon and is starring in Spontaneous, which is based on the book of the same name. Spontaneous will also be released in 2019.

The first season of Cursed has already been picked up for 10 episodes.
